AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP

"At 0203 [CDT] on September 27, 2020 the plant was in Mode 1 at 98 percent power when a turbine trip/reactor trip [from a generator trip signal] occurred. All systems responded as expected. A Feedwater Isolation signal was received due to the reactor trip with RCS average temperature less than 564 degrees Fahrenheit. The Auxiliary Feedwater system started on a valid actuation signal to restore and maintain steam generator levels. The plant is being maintained stable in Mode 3 with no complications. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of the reactor trip."

All control rods fully inserted from the reactor trip signal, and decay heat is being removed via the Auxiliary Feedwater and Steam Dump Systems.
